Pets have trouble sleeping in BV?
jsalemi:
Ok, not sure if this is some weird glitch in my game, or if BV broke something, but ever since I installed it, pets can no longer sleep in a room with a TV or stereo turned on. I first noticed this with one family's cat that likes to sleep on the living room floor (in spite of an expensive pet bed in the same room :) ). First time I played the lot in BV, the cat was asleep, the TV was still on, and the cat woke up with the tv-crossed-out icon/thought bubble. So I removed the TV to one of the sim's inventory, and the cat went back to sleep. Put the TV back, and the cat woke up again.
I tested with other pets in other houses, with similar results. Anyone else see this? Or am I just mis-remembering that pets slept through any noise in the room?

I have noticed the same thing on the lot where my dog breeder lives.
The pet beds are in a room adjacent to the family room but there is only an archway, not a door between the rooms so I guess the sound carries into there. Now the dogs ( 3 of them at the moment) are taking turns sleeping in the doghouse out on the back porch which was previously only used for breeding.
I moved the stereo to the kids playroom and use a non awesome hack to get my Sims to automatically turn off the TV whenever they are finished watching it. That helps a little.
Is it possible that stuff like this gets left in the game on purpose to give Modders something to tinker with?

I noticed this pre-BV. I usually make sure that no electronics are in any area that has sim or pet beds.

Hungry parrots also keep pets awake.
KellyQ:
I had the same problem prior to BV. My sim had catbeds in the living room, every time she tried to watch tv, it woke the cats up. I ended up moving the catbeds to another room. Apparently EAxis never saw a cat sleep through the sound of a tv or stereo...or like a few my cats, actually watch tv.
